Research Experience

 

During the past years, I possess a very strong research profile during the past years where I am publishing two to four journal papers yearly in very prestigious international journals with Q1/Q2 rank based on the following impact factors: JCR/ Scimago/Scopus. I am now an IEEE senior member and the head of the research committee as well as the head of one research group, i.e., the communication systems group. I have obtained several awards from IEE, IEEE, DAAD… etc such as the best paper award from IEEE WSA. My researches have been supported by several grants and funds from EU and German companies and research organization such as LOEWE Priority Program Cocoon, the European Research Council (ERC), German Research Foundation (DFG),  German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Moreover, I was invited to attend many conferences and workshops. Please find a list of my published papers below. The main idea of my research is to develop advanced algorithms, codes, and prototypes in the following fields:

  • Wireless communication systems and networks

  • Applied Cryptography and Network Security for future wireless communication systems

  • Machine learning for future wireless communication systems

  • Statistical and digital signal processing

  • Audio, speech, and image signal processing

  • Distributed communication systems

  • Smart and IOT systems

  • Biomedical signal processing and health care systems

  • Optimization methods.

  • Wireless sensor networks
